Basketball: Running one vs one

Unlock your players' creativity to beat their opponents' on one on one situations. A great session to assess your players' individual qualities

Players line up opposite each other. Player 1 passes to Player 2 and then follows their pass to put pressure on the attacker.

The attacker has to go around the cone on either their left or right before passing the ball back to next person waiting in the queue.

The player waiting in the queue then throws the ball back to player 2 before the drill can start again.

2 lines on the baseline, with the coach in the middle.

The coach will roll the ball down the middle of the court.

Both players will run and dive on the ball. The player that gets the ball is on offence and the other player on defence.

They will attack the basket from the side they came from.

First player to score wins.

The defender (red player 1) rolls the ball out for the attacker to pick up and then play a 1 v 1 against them.

The rules of the practice are that the attacker is only allowed three attacking dribbles before the point is dead.

Players Blue 1 and Red 1 have a ball each and they are starting from the right hand corners either end of the court. Green players 1 & 2 stand on the elbow of the free throw line.

Red player 1 and Blue player 1 start dribbling when they get level with the 3 point line they must do a long pass to the green players before running to receive the ball back. They then play 1 v 1, with the rules being only 3 dribbles and 1 shot.
